Most dogs do feel frustrated by not know the rules of the road and it really is the responsibility of every dog owner to teach them the basics.
There are many ways to teach your dog that you can find online if you know where to look.

Do it right the first time! You and your whole family will find a ton of fun training your new pet once those lines of communication are established and the benefits you will all gain by proper training will last the entire lifetime of your pet.
Regular training We train them to become, not only more sociable, but also a reliable company. This can be done by taking your dog to a professional dog-trainer, or simply at home, following instructions from books. Since the first option requires time to take the dog to a trainer, to go check on it, and take it back home, most people choose to house-train their pets. However, the second option has many disadvantages, since you are not a professional, and you do not have experience. Many even think, that after the dog/cat learned where "to go out", the training is over. You could not be more wrong.
On-line training There is a third way, a new one, but as efficient as taking your dog to a trainer, but less time consuming. On-line training. Don't think of putting your dog in front of a PC and let it learn from there. Through on-line training I mean visiting sites specialising on dog training. The following few paragraphs will be a guide to a few of these sites.
www.perfectpaws.com Gwen Bohnenkamp owns this site. She has been working with pets since1985 and also, she instructed the first course in Animal Behavior. The site itself is easy to navigate, easy to read, but most important it contains valuable information on training your pets, may they be cats, dogs or even guinea pigs. In addition, you can find tips on how to get closer to your companion, and how to become a certified dog-trainer. The subjects are well categorized and easy to get. If you want, you may purchase online books written by Gwen, herself.
www.dogproblems.com The renowned dog trainer, Adam Katz, publishes this site. It covers almost all aspects of dog training, you can buy Katz's book, which apparently, is the best-sold book of its type on the internet, and join a forum where the topic is no other then DOGS.
www.sitstayfetch.net This is the easiest to use site I could find about dog training. The "mastermind" behind this site is Daniel Stevens, a dog trainer, who wrote the book "SitStayFetch!" On this site you can find testimonials of people who have used his book and the way it helped them.
Conclusion However, you may choose to train your dog, bear in mind one thing: an untrained dog can be more of a nuisance than a friend. So, please, help your dog help you.
